3-INGREDIENT GRILLED ORANGE MARGARITA

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Grill orange halves, cut side down, until well browned, 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Juice oranges, then strain and discard pulp (you should have about 1 1/2 cups juice).
• Pour salt onto a small plate, if using. Rub rim of an old-fashioned or rocks glass with lime wheel, then dip into salt.Stir orange juice, tequila, lime juice, and 8 cups ice in a pitcher. Divide cocktails among glasses and garnish with lime wheels.

GRILLED CITRUS MARGARITA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Slice 2 of the limes and 1 of the lemons into rounds. Set aside.
• Cut the oranges and the remaining 6 limes and 4 lemons in half crosswise. Pour 3/4 cup of the sugar in a bowl. Dip the cut side of each fruit in the sugar to lightly coat.
• Grill the sugared fruit over medium-high heat until caramelized with char marks. When cool enough to handle, use a fork or citrus reamer to juice the grilled citrus. There should be about 2 cups of grilled citrus juice.
• Stir the remaining 1/2 cup sugar into the juice and add the tequila, stirring to combine. Refrigerate until chilled.
• When ready to serve, pour the drink mix into a large pitcher of ice. Add the sliced citrus rounds and serve over ice in glasses rimmed with sugar.

ORANGE MARGARITA

Steps:

• Chill 2 martini glasses. Pour about 1 tablespoon coarse salt onto a shallow dish. Cut a slit into one of the orange wedges and rub along the rim of the chilled glasses to moisten. Roll edges of glasses in the salt to create a salt-rim and place glasses in the freezer while mixing the margaritas.
• Pour orange juice, tequila, and orange liqueur into a cocktail shaker and shake well. Add a bit of crushed ice into the chilled martini glasses and pour margaritas into the glasses. Garnish with orange wedges and serve.
